7AEffect of admission or grant of faculty
1
Despite any provision made by the Public Notaries Acts, a person's entitlement to carry on an activity which is a notarial activity is to be determined in accordance with the Legal Services Act 2007.
2
Nothing in the Public Notaries Acts is to be regarded, for the purposes of paragraph 5(2) of Schedule 3 to the Legal Services Act 2007 (exempt persons in relation to notarial activities) as authorising a person to carry on such an activity.
3
For this purpose—
“the Public Notaries Acts” means this Act and the Public Notaries Act 1801;
“exempt person” and “notarial activity” have the same meaning as in the Legal Services Act 2007.
